ABOUT

BPP

ROMANIA

BPP stands for

quality and

innovation in

professional

education and

training.

Since our set up, more than 30 years ago,

we have dedicated all our resources to

identifying the best solutions and methods for

the most efficient training processes for our

clients. We believe that proper training and

transfer of know-how is key to a successful

business career as well as personal

development. For this reason, the only

activity that BPP undertakes is training and

producing training materials. That is our

business, that is what we do and that is what

we are good at.

In Romania, BPP opened its operations in

1997 as a response to increased market

demand for quality tuition. Globally, we

recognise the need for properly trained

professionals – this need is very much felt in

Romania as well.

Initially, we brought in BPP’s international

know-how and expertise to share with local

professionals, and also to get accustomed to

the local needs. Ultimately, the local needs

became our priority and we started adapting

the international know-how to the Romanian

market so as to best answer its demands.

Now, we are proud to be the leading training

provider, delivering custom training addressed

to precise business areas of a specific country.

We do not only deliver our training

programmes in Romania, but also in the entire

Europe region, covering all countries with their

training needs.

Thousands of accountants, financial services

professionals and other business practitioners

have gained their qualifications studying with

BPP. In fact, BPP trains and publishes for

more professional qualifications than any other

company in the world. In every continent, you

will find BPP supporting people as they pursue

a professional career in business.

Business professionals face an ever-tougher

working environment: increasing regulation,

nationally and internationally, and ever higher

standards demanded by government and

customers. BPP’s mission in the Romanian

business market is to train people starting out

on their careers, and to support them with

continuing professional development.

BPP Professional Education is the company that trains people for the qualifications they need

to become business professionals, and offers continuing professional development throughout

their careers.

STUDY

MATERIALS

BPP is unique amongst tuition providers in many innovative ways. As a company it has grown

from strength to strength due to high quality courses, materials and immense positive

feedback from the many students who choose to train with us.

As well as writing BPP published material, many of our authors are regular contributors to professional journals.

BPP products, including Study

Texts, Practice & Revision Kit,

Passcards and e-learning

materials (BPP i-learn, BPP i-

pass) are renowned worldwide

for their quality and their exam

specific focus. Our pre-printed

Course Notes allow students

to focus on the tutors, with

confidence that their notes are

detailed and well explained.

Our tutors have the gift of taking a complex technical subject, explaining it in terms that the student can understand and writing practice questions and examples that enable the student to obtain complete confidence. Prior to embarking on a career in writing and material production, our authors have had a variety of previous roles.

Coming from a range of academic disciplines, ranging from maths and business studies to history and modern languages, most authors worked in practice while gaining their accountancy qualification.

Subsequent career moves included management roles in practice and industry, lecturing and training and working for organisations as diverse as Reuters, the BBC and the Inland Revenue. The combination of academic qualifications and practical experience makes for a dynamic, creative and focused team of highly skilled and talented individuals.

Perhaps a key performance indicator of the quality of BPP Professional Education materials is that our study material sales to “non-course attending” students around the world constantly outsell the other training providers materials.

One of the things that makes us unique is that we believe that the best people to produce quality-targeted material are the tutors themselves. Our tutors are therefore responsible for writing material focused on each syllabus.Undoubtedly, tutors are best placed to appreciate what students need most.

They face students who want to feel well prepared. We believe that, to achieve an in-depth understanding of the subjects, producing the best material is key. Our materials are tailored to ensure that students are taught and can learn in the most effective manner. Professionally

produced and

revised training

material for an

assured quality

and efficient

learning process

BPP Professional Education is the leader

in Professional Examination training

The importance of an international qualification which will add value to

your career cannot be underestimated. Therefore, BPP’s mission in

developing professional education is to train people starting out on

their careers, and to support them with continuing professional

development once they are qualified.

In Romania, BPP can organize training courses for any of the below

professional qualifications, as we strongly believe that Professional

Examination Training is a need-to-have product rather than a nice-to-

have product.

ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the largest and fastest-growing

global professional accountancy body with 325,000 students and 122,000 members in 180 countries.

ACCA members are internationally recognised and work in a variety of sectors including public

practice, industry, commerce and the public sector. The quality of the qualification means that it offers

individuals the opportunity to work in the heart of a business at the highest level.

DipIFR (The Diploma in International Financial Reporting) builds on the technical and/or practical

knowledge acquired from recognised country specific accountancy qualifications or relevant work

experience. The DipIFR provides essential international financial reporting knowledge and principles

that will prepare candidates for the increasingly global market place and keep them abreast of

international developments and how they might apply to the companies and businesses.

DipFM (The Diploma in Financial Management) is a flexible and dynamic programme, designed to

achieve a level of practical financial management understanding that is genuinely useful for managers

in the workplace. DipFM develops a broad range of topics which enable managers not only to

understand financial information but also link it to broader strategic decisions.

CFA (The Chartered Financial Analyst) is a globally recognized designation of excellence for

investment professionals, awarded by CFA Institute (formerly the Association for Investment

Management and Research®). Around the world, the CFA designation is a mark of professional

excellence and integrity. As such, charter holders are highly regarded by employers, investors and

colleagues alike.

CIA® (The Certified Internal Auditor) designation is the only worldwide accepted certification for

internal auditors and remains the standard by which individuals demonstrate their competency and

professionalism in the internal auditing field. Candidates leave the program enriched with educational

experience, information, and business tools that can be applied immediately in any organization or

business environment.

CONTINUOUS

PROFESSIONAL

DEVELOPMENT

The Continuous Professional Development describes a commitment to enhancing your skills in

order to achieve a higher professional competence.

Over the past two years alone BPP have

supported over 5,000 individuals and

organisations worldwide to prepare for

the new CPD regime. We also assist

each of the Professional Bodies to

communicate and explain the

requirements of CPD to members who

are working in industry or practice. CPD

is now mandatory for the majority of

qualified accountants. We have an

expert team who would be delighted to:

Discuss with you on an individual

basis the CPD requirements of your

professional body

Discuss with staff in your organisation

how CPD will apply to them

Identify training needs within your

organization

Design and deliver appropriate

programmes that are integrated

within and complement existing

training programmes.

BPP has a strong Professional Development division based on its high quality courses, innovative

materials and expert presenters. Each of our programmes is constantly reviewed and updated to

ensure that the very latest developments are included within each course.

As the title suggests, CPD should be a

continuous activity undertaken

throughout each year rather than at any

particular point in time. As a

professional working (or on a career

break) in industry, practice or other

environment, you should identify what

you require to carry out your current role

effectively and the skills (both technical

and management) you need to develop

to fulfill that role effectively.

BPP Professional Education organises

an extensive range of professional

development training programmes in

different professional areas. If you are a

financial specialist, you work in a bank

or as an auditor, or you are a part of the

human resources department, BPP is

the right place for you to continue and

sustain your professional development.

BPP is able to assist you in designing an appropriate CPD programme to meet your needs.
